Chapter 500: Frustrated Korean Journalist, Crumbling Japanese Record

This time, the "buzzing" discussion continued for a long time and could not stop, because in everyone's opinion, "The True Colors of Men" has continuously broken the box office records of Chinese films in Japan and South Korea, which is really remarkable.

"Wu Ji" invested $30 million, "Night Banquet" invested $18 million, and "Golden Armor" invested $45 million.

And "The True Colors of Men" only invested less than 8 million US dollars, and before the release, everyone was not very optimistic, so when the results came out, the contrast was a bit big, and there was even a kind of rush in a dream.

It turns out that it is not that the bigger the investment, the more profitable, nor does it have to make the scene extremely luxurious, the big names gather to make money, and it is not only classical/historical/martial arts that makes money.

On the contrary, modern action movies with shorter shooting cycles, smaller investments, and simpler stories are more affordable for foreigners.

Nima, doesn't this obviously show that the so-called costume blockbusters that have become popular in Chinese movies in recent years are actually messing around?

After all, you can't make a lot of dollars abroad, and you can't win a big prize (international A class award), so what's the point of investing so much? It's purely a loser burning money to play, isn't it?

Well, at this moment, many famous directors who have played costume blockbusters have been shot, and even Wu Yusen, who was rushing to work, was shot while lying down, because the "Red Cliff" he was producing was another historical action movie! If it is released next year, the global box office will not be as good as "The True Colors of Men". I believe that 'White Pigeon Wu' may also be sprayed miserably.

Of course, this shouldn't happen, after all, the starring cast of "Red Cliff" was lucky enough to invite someone to participate. No matter how bad the box office is, it will definitely not be inferior to "Male Ben", but it is likely to surpass a lot!

"Ahem~"

Faced with this 'buzzing' scene, Jiang Zhiqiang had to cough lightly twice, put away his smile, and said secretly in his heart: "I've been waiting for you for dozens of seconds, if you want to talk about it, go back to discuss it in private!" ”

As if sensing his impatience, the guests finally closed their mouths. One and two regained their calm appearance, and their eyes fell on Lao ~ Jiang's face again.

"South America and Australia, one of the regions where Chinese films have always been bad. One is an area with a small population that cannot be radiated by Chinese-language films, so in these two regions, the film only received a total box office of $9.5 million. And has already drawn because of bad grades. ”

Speaking of the achievements of these two places. Jiang Zhiqiang's voice is quite regrettable, especially in South America, where there are many countries and a large population, but Chinese films just can't be sold, because Portuguese and Spanish are popular here, and South American countries are generally poor and turbulent, so the number of people who can afford to watch movies is actually not much.

In this way, of course, Chinese films can't be sold!

Of course, in fact, it's not just Chinese films that don't sell well in South America. Even Hollywood blockbusters never see South America as an important box office. Just like "Transformers", it was released on a large scale in South America for more than a month, and only received 35 million US dollars, which is not as good as the income of Chinese mainland!

Therefore, the main creators are just a little regretful, but they do not feel lost, after all, the market needs to be cultivated, and more importantly, there are always various turmoil and poverty, and there is no way to even cultivate the market!

The reporters didn't react much, obviously they all knew this, so Jiang Zhiqiang quickly continued: "Not to mention Africa, we sold the local film rights directly for 800,000 US dollars!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Well, this result simply made everyone laugh, because the whole of Africa is a fairly reliable market in South Africa and Egypt, and the vast majority of other countries and regions are either war or famine, who has the capital to watch movies? It can be sold cleanly for $800,000, which can be regarded as earning.

Jiang Zhiqiang was also laughing, but he was still thinking in his heart, if it was really released in several relatively stable countries in Africa, I don't know if this drama would be able to get a total box office of 5 million US dollars? If it is reached, this drama may be able to surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Of course, it's useless to think about these things now, and he quickly forgot about them, nodded and continued: "Finally, the box office data in Europe is not bad, especially the United Kingdom!" ”

He smiled, and his satisfaction was revealed: "Since it is also an English-speaking country, it has been greatly affected by the box office results in the United States, so it has earned a total of $9.55 million in four weeks of release!" ”

Lao ~ Jiang smacked his lips and seemed to reminisce, "Then the three countries of Germany, France and Russia, they jointly contributed 7.56 million US dollars, plus 4.5 million US dollars contributed by Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal and other countries, and the entire European performance is 21.61 million US dollars, becoming the fourth largest box office in the world for this film (the main box office locations: the mainland, the United States, Japan, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, South Korea). ”

Well, now the guests present can finally shout, because everyone has already obtained all the total box office except for Southeast Asia and the mainland, and after a quick calculation, the result is quickly reached: $152 million!

"Shhh It's a pervert indeed! ”

A South Korean reporter gasped and said in shock: "Our "Han River Monster" only received $2.2 million in the United States, and the global box office together was less than $80 million (there are several versions, the less is only 500 million yuan, and the more is 800 million, and the middle one is intercepted). Why is that? ”

Not only were the Korean reporters extremely frustrated and couldn't understand the reason, but the Japanese reporters were also very uncomfortable and full of confusion.

"Fortunately, we still have "Spirited Away" in Japan, and it is still the highest box office holder for non-Hollywood productions, and it is also the highest box office holder for Asian films, well, "The True Color of Men" is only more than 200 million points (US dollars) now, but "Spirited Away" is 250 million US dollars, it should not be surpassed, fortunately!"

Of course, reporters in Japan and South Korea are frustrated and uneasy, but reporters from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland do not have to be entangled, after all, "The True Color of Men" is a Chinese-language film, starring Chinese, the higher its results, the more face everyone has, because Chinese have a potential idea, that is, if you can't be the boss of the world, you must also become the boss of Asia, no matter what aspect.

Therefore, the China Entertainment reporters with the largest number of people on the scene were very excited, one by one, just like children who got red envelopes during the New Year, regardless of whether the people around them were familiar or not, they began to talk about the excitement in their hearts.

"It's too bad, bunker! $152 million! There's definitely hope of breaking the record of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! ”

"Hey, what is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? It's best to get rid of the record of "Spirited Away" left by Hayao Miyazaki, how can you let the small~ Japanese bullshit cartoon dominate the honor of the highest-grossing movie in Asia? Anyway, it's only $50 million, so there should be a chance, right? ”

"There's a chance for a fart! 50 million US dollars is not RMB, but it is almost 400 million RMB! There is still so much money left, and the domestic box office is about to rise, how can it be broken? ”

"Damn, why can't you break it? Isn't Tang Xiaoshuang claimed to have tens of millions of fans in China? One ticket for each of them, that's a proper 1 billion yuan, and I'm afraid that "Spirited Away" won't be broken? ”

"I'll go, do you think every fan is a loyal fan? His registered fans are only more than 9 million, and the so-called tens of millions of fans are supported by whim! Who will put their hope in them? ”

"I'm rubbing, it seems that I can only wait for "Red Cliff", this drama has a strong lineup and higher investment, I think there should be hope to kill "Spirited Away"!"

……

Brother Chic didn't know that there was actually a radical China Entertainment reporter who wanted him to take out the highest box office in Japan, the highest box office in Asia and the highest non-Hollywood production in the world, "Spirited Away", and even almost clashed with each other.

If he had known about this, he would have really gone to Japan to do some publicity, after all, Japan is still the second largest box office in the world, and if he works a little harder and performs more in Japan, he may be able to earn tens of millions of dollars.

But it doesn't matter, because "Red Cliff" will definitely go to Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States to do propaganda at that time, and then he should be powerful! (To be continued......)
